Description

The Hansa 18 PS was a luxury car produced by the German manufacturer Hansa-Lloyd Werke in the early 20th century. The “18 PS” in its name refers to the engine’s output of 18 Pferdestärke (horsepower), a common designation for engine power in Germany at the time.

This model was part of Hansa’s lineup during the 1920s and was aimed at upper-class buyers looking for a prestigious, well-built vehicle. It featured a six-cylinder engine, a relatively advanced setup for the time, providing smooth performance and a comfortable ride. The car was available in various body styles, including sedans and touring cars, reflecting the era’s preference for versatile luxury vehicles.

Hansa-Lloyd was known for its quality engineering, and the 18 PS helped solidify the brand’s reputation in the German market before it eventually merged with Borgward in the 1930s. Today, the Hansa 18 PS is a rare classic, appreciated by vintage car enthusiasts for its engineering and design.
